• Observe/take part in workshops, talks, performances and artistic exchanges;
• meet experienced live coders, artists, researchers and educators from an international community;
• explore live coding as a tool for performance, composition, improvisation, design, movement, pedagogy and collaboration;
• connect with students from other European institutions;
• reflect on how live coding can open new forms of artistic dialogue;
• develop ideas for future projects, collaborations or research.
Depending on the final programme, students may encounter examples such as live coding with musicians, jazz combos, string quartet, dancers, visual artists, lighting systems, immersive storytelling, robotics, AI, educational workshops or Algorave practices.
Why join?
This BIP offers a unique opportunity to experience a cutting-edge international conference while actively engaging with artistic and technological experimentation.
You will not only observe: you will be invited to participate, exchange, question and contribute. The programme is designed as a space for mutual learning between students, teachers, artists, coders and researchers.
By joining, you will gain:
• exposure to an international community of live coding practitioners;
• insight into new forms of interdisciplinary artistic practice;
• hands-on experience with code as a performative and collaborative medium;
